Grilled Ancho Chicken Breasts & Apricot Salsa

Prep: 15 min

Total Time: 45 min

Servings: 4

Ingredients

4 Chicken Breasts, (about 1 pound)

2 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, divided

2 teaspoons Ancho Chile Powder

½ teaspoon Garlic Powder

½ teaspoon Salt , plus ⅛ teaspoon, divided

4 Apricots, Nectarines and/or Peaches, halved and pitted

1 Avocado, chopped

¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh Cilantro

3 tablespoons finely chopped Red Onion

1 Jalapeño Pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon Lime Juice

4 Lime Wedges

Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high.

Brush both sides of chicken with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with chile powder, garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Brush the cut sides of the fruit with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.

Grill the chicken, turning once halfway, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes. Grill the fruit, cut-side down, until slightly softened and beginning to char, about 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine avocado, cilantro, onion, jalapeño, lime juice and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. When the fruit is cool enough to handle, chop and stir into the salsa.

Serve the chicken with the salsa and a lime wedge.
